Herzog Academic College of Education offers an excellent B.Ed. degree program and Teaching Certificate course to enable native English speakers to become fully certified English teachers in Israel.
Teaching English is one of the most in-demand professions in Israeli education and a very rewarding career for new immigrants from English-speaking countries. By helping Israeli children to acquire a solid grounding in the English language, you will empower them to succeed in the modern world.
Herzog College’s English teaching degree will qualify you to teach English as a foreign language to pupils of all ages in all types of schools throughout Israel. All our classes are taught in English, but we also support our students in learning Hebrew. We encourage interaction between native English speakers and Israeli students to their mutual benefit; the Anglos learn how to deal with Israeli classrooms, while helping the native Israeli students to improve their English proficiency.
